Mardi, re-soleil.

So today, once again, students had an opportunity to work on assignments that desperately need to be handed-in. Monsieur Wanie has made much progress towards compiling marks for the year-end reports...

Students were to have selected their "Projet d'Histoire" subject by now, although there are still a few weeks before that due-date.

And a reminder that "Histoire, Prise 2" is due on Monday, 16th May.

Dufferin and Davenport looks pretty different back then!

Lundi, une bonne semaine de soleil prevu...

So... this morning was the presentation-date for the "Projet oral". Today, many students did very well, with decent presentations and beautiful posters! Surprisingly, several students declined or refused to present their assignments and received a zero... not cool.

As well, today was the due-date for "Histoire, Chapitre 12". Students handed-in their work by placing it into their files in the sitckered filing cabinet.
Anyone going here next year?

Vendredi, le soleil, la pluie, le soleil?

Today, due to Monsieur Wanie's absence, Abelio took the class and followed the day plan left behind. Students were encouraged to work on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12" as well as "Histoire, Prise 2". Some students chose to work on their presentations due on Monday as well as finishing up on missing assignments for the files.

What's missing to the right of this picture?

St Clair ave looking east from Wells Hill... the Loblaws that is there now would be on the left, and the streetcar tracks now run underground to St Clair West station!

Mercredi, du vent pour faire disparaitre la pluie!

Today, students in 86 and 87 had two periods each to work on the "Histoire, Chapitre 12".

Monsieur Wanie also discussed yesterday's assembly with students to highlight some of the issues students and teachers face in a world where people seem so focused on themselves...

The report card program has "gone live" so students should be aware that teachers are already starting to compile marks for the end of the year! Graduation is not too far off, taking into account that there's a week off for music camp, a week off for Arowhon and the last week after grad were few grade 8s show up!

Mardi, re-pluie.

Today, 86 had their "Projet Oral" check. As well during the day, both 86 and 87 checked through their files and updated their table of contents. Students in both classes also worked on their "Histoire, Chapitre 12".

Two students from 81 worked all lunch hour to wash the class desks down, a few students in 87 had to finish up after lunch.

For students working on "Histoire, Chapitre 11", here's some additional information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Act
